As a Frank Lloyd Wright fan, I was looking forward to the docent-led tour at Florida Southern College. The site is AMAZING and worth seeing, but unfortunately, our guide at the IN-DEPTH TOUR just escorted us from one building to another, and we had to "milk" her for information. It was absolutely frustrating: I took docent-led tours in other FLW locations and this one was very disappointing. It's a shame - as the college is beautiful, and there's a lot to see, enjoy and admire. 5 stars to FLW architecture - 2 stars for the tour.…

If your in the area this is a great place to see Frank Lloyd Wright work. Usually residential it is very interesting see a more commercial designed place. On campus there are 13 buildings he designed with a great tour that only takes a couple of hours. Do go.

There are only a couple Frank Lloyd Wright buildings. They are very attractive and well preserved. And there is the odd, interesting Frank Lloyd Wright covered sidewalk. But we found the real treat to be the contribution of a lesser- known Asian architect. The Wrong family had been celebrated in China for years when the scion, Hung Wrong, finally had his first son. A great admirer of Frank Lloyd Wright and the prairie school of architecture, Hung Wrong named his son Frank Lloyd Wrong. As a young man, Frank Lloyd Wrong came to Florida Southern as a lecturer, but stayed to design several buildings. These are competent and very interesting variations on the prairie school cohort. Only two of the three Wrong-designed buildings are well-maintained. The third has become a bit of a broom closet. So go to the Florida Southern University and check out the Frank Lloyd Wright buildings, but also, be sure to explore the interesting legacy of Frank Lloyd Wrong.…
